Something similar existed called FIPS-140, though it is hard to certify and not a good fit for IoT.
IoT router/firewall might be one of the solution here, i.e. adding IoT pattern into existing routes/firewalls to protect IoT devices, in addition to your PCs and sometimes BYODs(smart phones etc).
It is very hard to make all IoT devices secure due to limited resource they have, so the first line of protection should be done on the router/firewall/gateway I think.
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 9y agoOK, so how do you distinguish automatically "abuse" from "proper use" for arbitrary devices, and how would putting the code that is able to do that on a separate device be easier than compiling it into the firmware of the devices themselves?
- ausjke 9y agoLook, your PC and BYODs are still prone to attacks, they're much much more powerful than those networked IoT devices, and they still need firewall to protect. I of course hope all firmware will be safe, and they should be safe as much as possible, still, you need a more powerful device to safeguard them. Put another way, no matter how secure my wifi-bulb is designed, I'm not going to expose it to the internet, and I will put it behind my firewall/NAT-router.

- jpindar 9y agoIs anyone working on this? Also, can anyone recommend a site that compares various router firmware?
